SEATTLE -- In need of length in the bullpen, with Jerome Williams and Michael Roth coming off pitching multiple innings and currently unavailable, the Angels called up right-handed starter Barry Enright from Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday.

"We need innings," said Angels manager Mike Scioscia, who will use Enright as a long reliever for the time being.

Enright is taking the roster spot of David Carpenter, who was charged with four earned runs in one-third of an inning in Wednesday's 11-3 loss to the Rangers. He's now the sixth pitcher called up from the Minor Leagues since the start of the season, joining Carpenter, Nick Maronde, Dane De La Rosa, Roth, Michael Kohn.
